changing hormones?

I used to have emotional problems but throughout my pregnancy and breastfeeding my mood swings seemed to go away. Now I've been so crazy again lately. I'm happy one second, crying the next, I can't stand it! I have this overall feeling of discontent, sometimes depression and its all too familiar. I thought I was getting past this but now it seems like it was just a change in my hormones that was making me feel better (maybe now that I'm nursing less my cycle is starting up again or something). Ugh, I just don't wanna go through this again.

Totally could have written this. I was crying during a Fisher Price commercial and some Videos on Americas funniest home videos made me choke up too. I am sad and depressed one second and I feel capable and happy the next. I am sick of the ups and downs (mostly downs). I don't want to be done breast-feeding but prozac has definately be more balanced in the past and I'm thinking I my need it again. I pray that you and I can find some peace during these crazy changes, and feel normal again.

With all of you here, up and down - waking up in a bad mood too often, hair getting greasing up & generally swinging from apathetic to overwhelmed. I am pretty sure that I am just close to getting my period?? Really hoping so cause I am feeling VERY hormonal and would quite like to feel normal again.
